track rental vs. test 'n tune

one reason we are renting is there is nothing scheduled for that weekend at the track. another is being able to run on your own schedule - you're the customer, and you get catered to that way. while they have been very cooperative in the past running in conjunction with bracket races, the race obviously is priority, especially when they get into eliminations. so you're looking at a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes, sometimes more every time you go to the lanes. so you spend an hour or more of your testing in the staging lanes. track rental, you pull up to the line and go. with us still being new, it serves our purpose better to run on our own schedule. for $300 a day, it's really worth that luxury, and only a 3 hr tow for us. not to mention with the funny car, they have the proper safety equipment and personel in place in the event of a fire or crash. that means alot to me testing.

if the track isn't right, or has street cars of any kind running, you're pretty much wasting your time. street tires, not to mention the dirt/debris from street cars just ruin a track quick.

when they do have an event going, they just charge us $15 test n' tune.

i can speak from experience that at hrp, they do a jam up job of prepping the track rental or bracket race.

so we don't hijack the thread, i'll reply to you re: regionals vs. divisionals in another thread.

 

scheduling vs region

the track doesn't have another bracket race scheduled until july 22nd. we need to get some bugs worked out, along with just make some runs down the track. harry's also going to make some license passes in the car, so for our situation, it's worth the extra cost to get the ball rolling instead of waiting another 2 weeks or more. if we get some good data, get the car into the high 2.50's to 330 (in the heat) and around 200 mph to the 1/8, we'll go back into 'race' mode. we feel like we can get there quicker testing than running races right now.

it's good yall have a track like that to go to.
